The Great Ace Attorney 2: Resolve is the eleventh installment of the Ace Attorney series of text adventure video games. New gameplay mechanics introduced to the series include Dance of Deduction, in which Ryunosuke must deduce mistakes and oversights in Herlock's overboard logic and uncover new facts, and Summation Examination, in which players must point out discrepancies among jurors' arguments to make their defendant's case and ultimately secure a "Not Guilty" verdict.

Situado no final do século XIX, durante o período Meiji do Japão e a era vitoriana da Grã-Bretanha, o jogo conta a história de um ancestral de Phoenix Wright, Ryunosuke Naruhodo, que trabalha para descobrir a verdade nos depoimentos das testemunhas e limpar os nomes de seus clientes no tribunal ao lado de um elenco de personagens - including local ace detective Herlock Sholmes.
